In the early 1900s, it was thought that the Kimmeridge shale at Kilve could be a commercial source of oil. It was explored, but never lucrative enough to really work. This old brick structure would have been used to prospect the site.

IT stands as the only remaining memorial to a scheme that just a century ago would, it was claimed, turn the Quantock coast into the country’s oil capital with a production of five million gallons a year and bring unprecedented wealth to West Somerset. Today, visitors passing on their way to Kilve beach see only a brick box with a rusty chimney on its top. That’s if they notice it at all.
